Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 139 Remember, don't show off!

Just a day later, Valencia's backyard caught fire.

The player who caused the fire was Negredo, the main striker introduced by Nuno Santo.

After losing to Zenit, the Spaniard accepted an exclusive interview with Marca.

As the sports newspaper with the largest circulation in Spain and one of the four major newspapers in European football, "Marca" is best at concocting all kinds of shocking news. Actively hit the muzzle.

When asked "why Valencia's offense has always seemed to be struggling this season", Negredo admitted frankly:

"There's something missing in the team this season, last season we were direct and this season we're always chasing possession."

As an ordinary fan, there seems to be no problem with such an answer, but reporters and editors immediately extended:
"Possession is useless? The leading striker openly questioned the coach's tactics!"

It is impossible to hide such news, even if Nuno Santo does not read the newspaper, he will hear the news immediately.

September 9, the fourth round of La Liga.

Valencia vs. Betis at home.

Paco won the long-lost starting opportunity, and Negredo, for the first time this season, did not enter the 18-man squad!

"Negredo?"

At the pre-match press conference, in the face of reporters' doubts, Nuno explained lightly:
"He wasn't feeling well, so I let him rest."

However, something more embarrassing than the reporter's questioning still happened.

When the game was about to end and the score was still 0:0, the Mestalla Stadium rang out loudly, "Nuno, vete ya! Nuno, vete ya (Nuno, get out now)!"

There have been boos at the Mestalla Stadium this season, but this is the first time that such a large-scale mockery of the head coach has been targeted.

As a bystander, Lee Polo didn't really understand.

He did not understand why Nuno was so sensitive and stubborn, nor why Negredo had come to this end.

Take a look at Negredo's statistics last season, 34 shots and 6 pass in 1 games. This kind of performance can be exchanged for a transfer fee of 2800 million, and he has always been the main striker. Why is he not grateful to the coach?

This season he played 5 games, starting each game, and scored 2 goals in total. The starting position is not stable, why do he still have time to do these things? -
Three days after the draw with Betis, the fifth round of the league.

Valencia's performance is still poor, they lost 0:1 away to the mid-ranked Spaniards, and Negredo still did not appear in the squad.

It wasn't until September 9, the sixth round of the league, that Negredo finally entered the starting lineup.

踢了88分钟的西班牙前锋，交出了4次射门1次射正2次被侵犯0次过人0次威胁的数据，让支持他的球迷们大失所望。

On the contrary, Mustafi performed brilliantly. With a header in the 26th minute, he helped the Bat Army win three points with difficulty.

The team won and Negredo performed poorly, which would have made Nuno Santo's life easier, but the public opinion changed the direction and continued to shoot at him:
"Goalkeeper Matthew Ryan, who has been performing steadily before, why was he put on the bench?"
-
And in the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage on September 9, when facing Lyon, Negredo's data was even worse:
1 shot and 0 shots on target, no goals, no passes, and even 0 violations!

Although Figuri scored a world wave for the team early on, the Zhengyin striker performed so badly that Nuno Santo finally couldn't help it.

He glanced at the bench and asked his assistant Worro:
"Lee Polo, can he play forward?"

Uro froze for a moment, but Rui Pedro on the other side reminded his boss first:

"Paco is in good form, and Mina..."

Before Pedro could finish speaking, he saw the anger on Nuno's face, and quickly stopped persuading him.

The assistant couldn't help but slander:
【You basically... want to humiliate Negredo, right? 】

Volo flipped through his notebook:
"The boy played 4 league games in the reserve team, scored 9 goals in total, and has become the league golden boot..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Nuno:
"Rui, let him warm up!"
-
Just like that, Lee Polo, who almost fell asleep on the bench, was called out from the bench by the assistant coach.

"Warm up, play in 3 minutes, play forward!"

Knowing that his language level is not good enough, Pedro's words are also very simple.

Li Poluo looked up at the large electronic screen hanging high in the sky, the time on it had just reached 65 minutes!

This means... Even if there is a delay in the middle, I can play for at least 20 minutes!

He immediately jumped up and trotted on the sidelines!
While he was warming up, Wu Luo came over quietly, and said something intimately:
"Don't just focus on your own limelight and forget my tactical training for you!"

Li Boluo nodded again and again:
"I know, coach!"
-
"drop!"

As Feguli was brought down by Umtiti at the front of the penalty area, the referee blew his whistle briefly and pointed to the sidelines, indicating that one side should apply for a substitution.

Negredo glanced off the court, showing a frustrated expression:

The red one is my number 7, but the green one is number 4!
The first reaction in his mind turned out to be:

"Who is Number 4?
Our team has this number? "

But when he saw the excited Li Polo jumping up and down beside the fourth official, Negredo's face became even more ugly.

[Replacing me, Zhengyin striker, with a defender, I want to keep this victory...Although it is a bit conservative, who can criticize such a practical tactic? 】

A sullen Negredo walked off the court with his head bowed, and he had to give his teammates a polite high-five before sitting back on his bench.

Then...he watched Li Poluo trot all the way to the front of the restricted area...

Negredo quickly shook his head, comforting himself:
[This is a chance for a free kick in the frontcourt. This kid has a good header. It's normal to run forward! 】

Then...he saw DePaul shoot directly with a strong burst!
The team's top passer's shot bypassed the wall, but hit the goal frame firmly!

Seeing this scene, Negredo was actually a little happy.

【The kid ran so far in vain that he didn't even have a chance to grab the header! 】

Before he could laugh, he saw Li Polo take a stride, appearing at the far end of the goal, lightly leaped when no one was watching, and shook his head against the rebounding ball!
"Whoo~~~"

Goalkeeper Anthony Lopez only had time to take a step to the left before he saw the ball go into the net behind him!
2: 0!

Lee Polo, who just came off the bench for 25 seconds, expanded the score for Valencia!
Negredo opened his mouth wide, and there was endless despair in his eyes!
Is that okay?

He saw the head coach Nuno Santo jumping up in the command area and punching the air three times in a row. The excitement seemed as if he had won the Champions League!
[Negative emotions from Alvaro Negredo, +20! 】

Uro, who was standing next to Nuno, couldn't help grinning.

【I seem to have said something to him just now? 】

[Don't just focus on showing off yourself? 】

[The one on horseback! 】

[Why is this child so disobedient? 】
